Now that we are on the topic of free energy, heres a link a company that I am dying to help contract out in the US.
They put windmills under the ocean when there are strong currents. If it weren’t for the fucking Gov’t Bullshit/tax from big oil companies this company will be able to start a series of underwater hydroelectric farms that would make OIL and NUCLEAR power a thing of the past.
Totally clean, no enviormental damage and they pay for themselves in 2 years.

Wow, the way you couldn’t finish your sentence, it’s like “they” got to you. And it’s kinda weird; when I clicked on the link, nothing happened. I hope nob

When was the last time you drove any car at 140 mph? Really. I have friends with bad-ass cars that never even get 'em up to 100. Realistically, a top speed of 130 for an electric golf cart is a bit overkill unless we are on the autobahn.
I’ve gotten my car up to 115. Do I keep it there, hell no. Do I do it often? Hell no, only once.
I was just making it a point. Most cars that go 0-60 are considered supercars. Supercars usually go around 185, though.
I never said it was a necessity. If you want hard pulling as well as top speed, you could sell your soul for a hennessey viper.

I really don’t have this confirmed, but don’t cars in the U.S. have governors on them that stop them around 130 or 135?? I think so. But really don’t know.

Solution: Solar power!

I posted this link in another thread last week, but it could be considered relevant in this one too, since we are getting all hippie and green and whatnot. Check out the nanosolar products, they really are innovating by leaps and bounds towards a realistic, affordable, and feasible alternative to fossil fuel energy.
side note: The Google.com dudes invested heavily in Nanosolar development AND the Tesla Roadster’s development… coincidence? Or psychic phenomenon? 
The car needs it’s batteries recharged, meaning there has to be a power plant out there somewhere burning fossil fuels to recharge that battery. Unless we can come up an alternate fuel source we are still in the Arab’s pocket.
Barnacles, good point, but taken care of. The top of the line boats and ships have very small electrodes on hull, very small charge keeps them clean.
I love the concept of artifical reefs good for enviornment. There is a Company in Ft Lauderdale, that will take your cremated ashed and put in the concrete of a reef ball. thats where I want my ashes.

Lots of potential in ocean based energy, however anything in/under the water has problems with barnacles etc… that will need to be cleaner. The irony of underwater stuff is, it improves the environment, all the coral etc… plants itself on it and a new ecosystem starts up.
So much free energy in the world, but first you gotta build the equipment. Companies are lazy. A lot of people would be surprised to learn that companies won’t even invest in refineries to refine sour crude oil, they’d have to build $100m refineries but it would drop the oil price real fast. But they don’t care as long as profits are steady.
But things will change.
If you watch Gattacca you’ll notice all the retro looking cars are electric, and almost silent.

Not unless they just started doing it and didn’t tell anyone.
I’d take a truck over that girl-mobile any day of the week.

Strange…that’s an Elise.
Lotus Elise, even the 190BHP vvti engine is quick to 60mph and then not that fast. I watched a friend in his 111S (Rover 1.8vvi 143bhp engine) get shut down on the motorway by some geek in a 3.0 tdi Audi Cabriolet.
